SCR has already shown the “mental ability “ to go 10.7. 10.6 will be the same, because when you are on fire, anything is possible.
I don’t think her post-trials under-performance is due to an inability to handle pressure, I think it’s because she eased off the good stuff—but yes, she is a girl among women.
It’s ALL a question of PED’s, and nothing else—in all countries—for those with desire, which she appears to have. If the politics are favorable to her, she will be insulated nationally, and possibly even internationally...possibly. She is IMO a high responder to whatever program she’s on, like TG was, and like many others. TG at 9.7 was 10.3 clean, at best. SCR at 10.7 is 11.3 clean, at best—each of them popping maybe a .10 better lifetime PB.
It must be understood that what we have been seeing for the past 35-40 years has been completely unnatural. There is no ubermensch. How fast do you think Metcalf is, clean?
As long as it’s a clown world, SCR has as good a shot as anybody, as long as she has some allies. She needs to spend the winter getting some.
